Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon

A Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon (BHAL) is a comprehensive dictionary based upon Frank Matheus's PONS Kompaktwörterbuch Althebräisch-Deutsch. BHAL utilizes modern lexical approaches, is extremely clear, and offers efficient access to the information that users need. With nearly 10,000 entries, BHAL covers the entire biblical vocabulary, including the Aramaic portions. Moreover, it offers numerous forms that help the user to find the word she or he is looking for quickly in its specific grammatical form.

"Frank Matheus's wordbook is the ideal dictionary for a language course in Biblical Hebrew. It provides all necessary information including the most important grammatical forms, clearly arranged and easily accessible. In contrast to the large exegetical dictionaries, students have quick access to all important meanings and can therefore orientate themselves quickly and safely."

-Prof. Dr. Peter Mommer, Faculty of Protestant Theology, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany

"BHAL is a welcome tool for readers of the original languages of the Old Testament. Dr. Matheus is to be commended for the herculean effort that went into producing this helpful new resource."

-Bill T. Arnold, PhD, Paul S. Amos Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, Asbury Theological Seminary
